What were the major contributions of Rome had on law architure religion and government?
The Romans have given us Christianity. It developed from a religion among a small group of Jews (who lived in Judea, which was part of the Roman Empire) into a mass religion in the Roman days. It spread around the Roman Empire. It became state religion. Catholic Christianity and Orthodox Christianity developed during the Late Roman Empire. They were originally called Latin or Western Christianity and Greek or Eastern Christianity respectively. The former was the main form of Christianity in the western part of the Roman Empire and the latter was the main form of Christianity in the eastern part of the Roman Empire. The key principles of Roman civil law have provided the foundation or an inspiration for the law of many modern countries. These are: citizenship status and citizenship rights, equality under the law, the right to have a proper trial and to defend oneself, the right to appeal, that the burden of proof rests on the accuser and not on the accused, that it is the exact form of actions and not intentions or words which is punishable, and that a law deemed unreasonable or unfair can be repealed. The Romans influenced European architecture, sculpture and painting until the early 20th century. They influenced the art of the Renaissance (14th-15th century) Baroque (17th-18th century) and Neoclassicism (18th-20th century, and is still sometimes used today). Palladian architecture was also based on Roman architecture. It was popular from the 17th century to the 20th century and was often used for public buildings. Latin literature was very influential in European literature until the mid-20th century.

Why did Constantine make Christian legal?
Co-emperors Constantine I and Licinius made an agreement which has been called Edict of Milan in 313. This reiterated the toleration of Christianity and all other religions in the empire decreed in an edict by Emperor Galerius in 311. It also ordered the restitution of Christian lands confiscated during Emperor Diocletian's persecution of the Christians a decade earlier and the payment of compensation. These edicts did not actually make Christianity legal. They did not give it any legal status. They just declared its toleration and therefore freedom of worship. Latin Christianity (the original name of Roman Catholicism) and Orthodox Christianity (which at the time were considered two branches of one church which was called the Catholic Church) were made the state religions of the empire by co-emperors Gratian, Valentinian II and Theodosius I in 380. This was done to ban the worship of Arianism, another version of Christianity which was popular at the time and was opposed by the two main churches.

Who was the edict that legalized Christianity throughout the Roman Empire?
Christianity was given legal status by the Edict of Thessalonica by co-emperors Gratian, Theodosius I and Valentinian II in 380. This edict made the Catholic Church the only legitimate version of Christianity in the empire, turning it into the state religion. The Catholic Church at that time was a church which subscribed to the Nicene Creed, a particular interpretation of the trinity. It had two branches, the church of the west (Latin Church) and the church of the east (Greek Church). Later these two churches split and came to be called Catholic and Orthodox respectively. The purpose of this edict was to put a ban all other versions and sects of Christianity, which were branded as heretic. The edict was followed by an official persecution of the sects, especially Arian Christianity, which was very popular around the empire. Two earlier decrees, the Edict of Toleration by Galerius of 311 by emperor Galerius (311 AD) and the edict of Milan by co emperors Constantine I and Licinius (313 BC) decreed the toleration of Christianity. This granted the Christians freedom to worship and the right to live safely (i.e. not be persecuted). These two edicts did not actually legalise Christianity because this religion had never been made illegal and the edicts were not about legal status. They sanctioned a change of policy from persecution to allowing freedom of worship. The Edict of Milan extended this freedom to all religions. There were several religions in the empire.
